Burlington Skilled Nursing Homes

At AssistedSeniorLiving, we want to give seniors and their loved ones the information they need to pursue quality nursing care that is delivered by compassionate, diligent and well-trained caregivers.

Burlington nursing homes take care of the individual custodial, medical and social needs of all its patients. Area nursing homes are residential care facilities that treat a diverse range of health conditions. They principally assist patients with rehabilitation from an acute medical incident, post-operative recuperation and extended-term health maintenance. Also called skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes employ a full staff of caregivers who are dedicated to providing patients with appropriate services and supplies.

Physicians, registered nurses, certified nursing assistant, non-medical personnel, social workers and therapists are among the personnel that collaborate to evaluate, observe and manage each patient’s issues.

Patients looking for residency at a Burlington skilled nursing facility can expect to pay around $300 per month less than the Iowa median level. Semi-private and private SNF rooms bear monthly costs of $4,380 and $4,775, respectively.

Many nursing facilities often offer care programs outside the more general types of care. Respite care is designed to give temporary relief to family caregivers and their patients. These programs allow patients to spend a set period of time, from an overnight stay to more extended stays, to give family caretakers time to replenish their energy and commitment or tend to other family needs. Adult day health care offers physical and social services to patients whose caregivers cannot be at home during the daytime. Along with proper medical treatment, these centers are aim to stimulate social interaction through activities. Outside family care options, nursing homes offer either short-term or long-term care. Some Burlington area facilities will be equipped for both categories.

Short-term care is the intermediate recovery period for patients who have had acute medical trauma like a fall, aneurism, cardiac arrest, stroke or operation. Patients come from a hospitalization where their doctor required them to seek a short-term stay for medical treatment. It is important for a hospital’s diagnosis and first few days of care to set an appropriate foundation for the rest of a patient’s recuperation to build off. High quality health care services in Burlington, based on patients’ hospital experiences, can be found at Great River Medical Center. Under nursing care, patients are re-evaluated by doctors who put them on a personalized path to restore strength and repair vital functions. These means are usually achieved by various rehabilitation techniques like occupational, physical, auditory, respiratory and speech therapy. The final stage of recovery is often undertaken at an assisted living or in home care arrangement. Patients move to a less inclusive type of care when cleared by their doctor.

Long-term care is for patients with terminal, permanent, chronic and progressive diseases like Parkinson’s, osteoarthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, dementia and congestive heart failure. Many patients have conditions that are deteriorating. This requires responsive and extensive treatment to stabilize and reverse certain symptoms. Nursing personnel have a certain duty that forms a supportive network for all patients’ needs. Nurses and doctors supervise forms of care around-the-clock by giving regular check-ups and performing medical procedures like wound care, CPR, enteral feeding tubes, medication adjustment, injections and dialysis. Non-medical personnel are tasked with assisting patients with custodial care needs, everyday comfort and basic hygiene. Social workers, recreational planners and counselors are part of the many personnel who try to promote patients’ psychosocial welfare by fostering independence, reassurance and interaction throughout the facility.

Even though nearly 70 percent of seniors over 65 will need to spend a period in a long-term care facility in their life, the decision to pursue nursing care is difficult and stressful. Certain viewpoints are problematic for seniors and their families who are apprehensive about skilled nursing facilities. They often see the losses in social freedom, improper care practices and patients ending up in nursing care until they die as representative of the whole industry. In reality, these situations only occur in poor facilities or due to terminal or aggressive conditions that cannot be tamed. Many long-term patients thrive under long-term care. Both medical and social services allow improve patients’ health to a level where they can move back home or to a less inclusive care option.
